Aaron Court Motel
Ok for overnight stay. Room has obviously seen better days. Window was very dirty which gave an overall bad first impression but bed was comfy.

We were greeted by a very friendly lady at reception, we saw her the next morning and she asked us if we needed anything like towels etc. The room was lovely and spacious, beds were comfortable. Everything was very clean!

Modern, extremely clean and comfortable. Very nice staff too. I had a large, top floor apartment style room. No elevator though. Very high recommendation.
